Description Suggest change

Just around the corner from King Crimson are these paired spires- Macita (little Mace) named for its resemblance to the main tower of the Mace, and the squat but interesting Fire Hydrant spire 30 feet away.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the King Crimson approach to the base of the Southwest Face route, then contour below the cliff bands to reach the notch between the two towers.
